Thanks for checking into that. Of course it’s something silly like that. I did try the yaml notify group and got nowhere with it. 
I found this today and it solves the specific case I was working for. So that’s covered.
Now I can work on all the other notifications that Ticker will solve. No longer will I be the only one getting random app notifications when dryers, dishwashers, etc are done. Now I can bring on the wrath of the wife! Until she figures out she can disable them… 
Thanks!
